Senate Passes Pork Laden Stimulus Bill

The final vote tally is in… The Senate approved the measure 60-38 with three erstwhile Republicans, Alren Specter, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins providing the votes needed for passage.

No surprise really we all knew Specter, Collins and Snowe would vote with the Democrats… While I’m not happy about it I’m not going to jump on the throw them out of the caucus bandwagon. There are other critical votes coming up and I’d rather have their votes, shaky though they may be, in our pocket.
